            "content": "/proc/tid/children (since Linux 3.5)\nA space-separated list of child tasks of this task.  Each child task is represented by\nits TID.\n\nThis  option is intended for use by the checkpoint-restore (CRIU) system, and reliably\nprovides a list of children only if all of the child processes are stopped or  frozen.\nIt  does not work properly if children of the target task exit while the file is being\nread!  Exiting children may cause non-exiting children to be omitted  from  the  list.\nThis  makes  this  interface even more unreliable than classic PID-based approaches if\nthe inspected task and its children aren't frozen, and most code should  probably  not\nuse this interface.\n\nUntil  Linux  4.2, the presence of this file was governed by the CONFIGCHECKPOINTRE‐\nSTORE kernel configuration option.  Since Linux  4.2,  it  is  governed  by  the  CON‐\nFIGPROCCHILDREN option.\n",
